The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
3.0

Seriously? I read this because people said it redeemed the first. Where? It was just as, if not more, depressing than the first. Not much got better. Yes she “won” in the end, but at what cost? Such a terrible life for all involved.

Yes I know it’s real life. I am known to enjoy depressing books. But his was too much. Everything that could go wrong did. So much death and suffering. Nothing was ever easy for Ada. It didn’t need to be THAT hard. It was not believable.

So, yeah. I guess I’m not understanding why this series is so popular. But it is well written 🤷‍♀️
